3.1 To demonstrate that your competence satisfies the senior route requirements, you must prepare a Portfolio of Evidence using the standard template and pro-forma shown in the Annex to this Section of the Guidance, and available in Word format from [email protected]. You should send three hard copies and one soft copy of your Portfolio to CIHT at 119 Britannia Walk, London N1 7JE by the published deadline. Submission dates are given on the TPP website www.tpprofessional.org.

3.2 Your Portfolio must include:

a completed Senior Route application form (using the standard pro-forma), and

two completed Sponsor’s Authentication forms (using the standard pro-forma),

a full CV, describing your education, positions held and experience to date, and with individual projects or other aspects of your experience numbered sequentially,

4. Assessment

4.1 Each submission is assessed independently by three people who are TPP qualified, one of whom is a member of the TPP Professional Standards Committee. Their recommendations are considered by the full Committee at the next scheduled meeting and a final decision is made. That decision could be:

to award the qualification, or

to require the candidate to provide further information, pending a final decision by the Committee, or

that the candidate has not satisfied the requirements for award of the qualification by the Senior Route, but may be able to demonstrate the required competence levels through attendance at a Professional Review interview, which would include the submission and presentation of a Project Synopsis that complies with the requirements set out in Section 2 of the TPP Guidance Notes for Candidates: TPP Portfolio of Evidence and Professional Review; or

that the candidate has not yet gained the breadth and/or depth of competence required to satisfy the requirements for award of the qualification, and that no award should be made.

4.2 You will be notified of the outcome of your application by letter, usually within eight weeks.

4.3 If you are unsuccessful you will be contacted by a member of the TPP Professional Standards Committee so that detailed feedback can be given. You will be offered guidance on areas in which it was felt you needed to gain additional experience, and whether, in due course, you should resubmit through the Senior or the Standard Route. In all cases, the decision of the Professional Standards Committee is final.
